[quote=Anonymous]ed some advice here. Our nanny has been with us for 6 months now. She is great with our little girl. But there has been times when she would comment on her pay and how we are not paying her enough. When I interviewed her, it was a fixed salary plus holiday pays and time off which equates out to $16 an hour roughly. The first time she brought it up, she said she did the calculation and we are not paying her 16 at which point I realized she was right and tagged on another 200 per month. When covid hit and my husband couldn’t work, she said she would need to look for another job if she can’t work and that she will give us her two weeks to which we told her she can come in two days (instead of 4). She is now back with us for 4 days a week. Recently, I came home from work and she kind of made a comment that we are not paying her 16. When I calculated it, she is not adding in the holidays and in reality it’s a salary not hourly. If holidays were calculated in there, we are actually paying more than 16. She made remarks once again that she might have to look for another family if we can’t increase her pay. The following day, my husband said she asked for 20 an hour and to let her know if we can afford her. We decided we couldn’t and at the end of the week, told her we will keep her for two weeks so she can find another family. She was surprised and told us she’d stay at the current pay. The issue is we were stressed out and started to look for other nannies and scheduled multiple interviews. Thinking through it, we didn’t mind increasing her pay just not that steep and it’s not the pay that bothered me, it’s the way she handled it... should we keep her or get a new nanny? She is great with our girl. This is the ONLY issue we have with her.[/quote]
